QPWS reveals dingo incidents on the rise at Fraser Island

A SPIKE in threatening interactions with dingoes on Fraser Island has been revealed by rangers.

The research from Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service counted threatening interactions, which "includes growling, snarling or dominant behaviour toward humans", and high-risk interactions including "lunging or bailing up a person, nipping, biting, or attacking".

The number of high-risk interactions increased by a staggering 185.7% from 2015 to 2016, and the number of high-risk interactions from January 1 to April 6 is already more than 2015.
